Speaking at the ceremony, which took place last night in Los Angeles, Brewster – who also stars in TV series Dallas – said Walker had the power to make people ‘feel like the most important person in the world’.

‘This past November, tragedy struck when Paul Walker’s life shockingly ended. The immense outpouring of grief around the world was a reflection of the kind of man Paul was,’ the 33-year-old said.

‘He was so, so special. I was lucky enough to work with him over the last 15 years and witness the generosity of his heart every day I was with him.

‘He was humble, he thought about others. Whether you knew Paul for five minutes or a close friend, he made you feel like the most important person in the world.

‘For Paul, every day was an adventure to be tackled and he wanted to make a difference in this world [but] he never asked for credit or glory. He was just a really good guy.’

Footage of Walker’s film career and humanitarian efforts were later shown, during which Vin Diesel added: ‘The world saw his magic onscreen, the world saw his philanthropic endeavors, yet I wish the world could’ve seen how special a brother he was.’
